CAR-SEAT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March 26, 1907.

To call 1117110772 it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES K. PICKLES, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Car-Seats, of which invention reference is to be had to the accom panying drawings, forming a part hereof, in which" Figure 1 is a sectional view of a seat provided with my improvement. Fig. 2 is a detailed view.

Throughout the various views of the drawings similar reference characters designate similar parts.

The seat 1 is provided with the usual back 2, back-supporting and pivoted arms 3, pivoted at 1 to projections 5 from the back 2, and near their lower ends these arms are pivoted to the seat-frame. The precise manner in which these above-mentioned parts are ar ranged is immaterial and forms no part of my invention, so that further description. is unnecessary.

The seat 1 is supported by any suitable means, as legs 6, on which are the usual bars 7, which carry the rockers 8. These rockers 8 are slotted at 9 to receive a pin 10 011 a link 11., connecting the lower ends of the arms 3, so that the rockers are shifted by these arms and in unison with them. The pin 10 is also connected with a shaft 12, which is similarly connected to the rocker at the other end of the seat 1, and the shaft 12 is suitably journaled in the seat-support, so that both rockers are always moved in unison, The rocker shifting mechanism is also old and needs no further description.

The cushion 13 rests on the rockers 8 and is provided at each. end with a depending bracket or projection 14, which straddles the shaft 12 and holds the cushion 13 against any lateral movement when the seat is reversed, but permits only a change in tilt or inclinationv of the cushion 13. The lower surface of this cushion and the upper edges of the rockers are made smooth, so as to operate freely, the rockers 8 sliding on the base 7 and under the cushion '13 when the seat is reversed.

The bracket 14 isfixed to the cushion by any suitable means.

Other embodiments of my invention may be made which employ its essential characteristics, so that I do not regard it as limited to the precise disclosure herein made, but asbroad. enough to cover all structures that come within the scope of the annexed claims.

What I claim is 1. In a device of the class described, a sup port, rockers slidably mounted thereon, a shaft pivotally mounted on said support, a cushion slidably mounted on said rockers, and projections fixed to said cushion and straddling said shaft. 2. In a device of the class described, a support, rockers slidably mounted thereon, a shaft pivotally mounted on said support, a cushion slidably mounted on said rockers, projections fixed to said cushion and straddling said shaft, a back and means for supporting said back.

Signed this 13th day of March, 1905.
